Note 3 [N9005] GPS always seearching Lollipop 5.0 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Since after updating to Android Lollipop 5.0 from Kitkat 4.4.2 my GPS is giving so much issues while locking signal on Sygic, Navmii
its working absolutely fine when Internet (Wifi/3G) is enabled but for accessing offline maps it always search for satellites but never comes up with one even after 1-2 hours.
the same issue is occurring with S4 with same Lollipop 5.0, the same apps are working fine with Kitkat 4.4.2 but not it isn't working.
Tried to resolve the issue by using below link but failed, GPS should work without Wifi/3G/4G Data connection
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54196125&postcount=754
GPS Status app is also not giving any valid satellite locks.
I think i have STOCK version updated to 5.0 but not yet confirmed since i purchased the set in use condition
Always showing Searching for GPS

and install the polish rom as suggested, had the same problem, this rom fixed my gps(i have a steady connection within 3 seconds). Btw its a rooted rom and you keep knox 0x0 so you win twice ?

AGPS mate, AGPS. Have an app to download the AGPS data at short intervals. Without AGPS data this phone is just dumb to have a GPS lock, this is what I have experienced after doing almost everything I could to try to fix the GPS issue and ultimately giving up.
Or you could try the hardware thing like some others have mentioned, like straightening some pins or something if its bent, which I haven't done, but I am now considering it.

I had same problems in past time
But when I change the sygic with the new v it become connect with gps in 30 sc
Sygic v 15.4.1
Do it and thank me ?

This scenario is not working, either AGPS data is not downloaded or downloaded data is not locking any satellite.

Just take your time and read the thread, its not all that dificult, once you get the hang of it its a piece of a cake.
Everything is written down step by step, follow the instructions and nothing can go wrong.
Good luck

What if my, it damages the phone during the process,
Secondly i already have 5.0 so should i move directly to part 3 ??

GPS is a kernel related problem or sometimes loose internal connection .
All AGPS does is speed up lock on .
Test by leaving GPS on in clear view of the sky for half an hour .

If it says no, your phone is not rooted, so you have to go trough the steps to unroot it.

Umm, how it works I don't know man, but it works, that's all I know. Just install the app and install with the default settings (do not alter the settings, this is important), the gps.conf file will be patched with new settings, reboot the phone, and then go outside, get the first lock under clear sky, and then test anywhere. It locks for me anywhere!

GPS is not even locked while iphone did that within 3 sec

Dear users ,
as i told , i have a big problem with the GPS it take LOOOOOONG time to fix
i did google the problem thy advice to tried *#*#1472365#*#* and *#*#3214789650#*#* but nothing happens when i type the numbers
is it software or hardware ! and what is the fix
The answer is all over the forums. But some more information about your device would be helpfull. Ill assume that you are running a stock ROM. Many people have had great success fixing the GPS by flashing to XXKG6 firmware. That worked for me. Give it a go.
sometimes i can get a lock in 30 seconds and sometimes it take 5 mins and that`s with a clear sky, and i have tried must of the gps test apps with downloaded assistance data.

What version firmware version are you running? Do you have a custom ROM installed? Rooted? I to had the exact same issue with my phone. I was running the stock Bell ROM from Canada. Firmware was MUGKG2 standard on Bell/Virgin Phone. I rooted my phone with CF roots available for KG2 and had used all the GPS data tools that I could find. Then I flashed my phone with Cognition ROM which is using XXKG6 and BOOM GPS working. I found all this on this very forum. I will search and and post it for those who cant find it.
Eahaih
My phone Information
1- Rooted.
2- I9100xxKF1

In order to get the most help possible instead of saying not work, why don't you say what you tried to do, what happened when you tried, and then say it didn't work. That way you can get the most help as possible.
Update your firmware to a newer version.
I did install :
GPS Status app and the Faster Fix app.
point Faster Fix app to Asia.
restart the phone
open the "GPS Status" and open google maps !
still the locator blinking for more than 30 min !
Thank you
Try updating your firmware. As i stated I tried everything as well. It wasnt until I updated the firmware did I get consistant GPS connections.

Mine locks within 5 secs without any firmware change, a Galaxy S II right out of the box. Maybe you're in a place without much satellites or you're indoors? Or maybe there's a malfunction with your network an A-GPS.
Hi I had the same problem - GPS could see plenty of satellites but would not get a "fix".
I then rebooted the phone and then within a few sec it could get a fix even indoor.
So try to reboot.

Switch all location services off in settings. ie untick both gps satellites and wifi location. Then power off, reboot and switch them all on again. Use gps test (chartcross) to see if you can get a lock.
You can also reset agps data if it remains slow to lock.

I already tried all tips I'v found (FasterFix, manual update of gps.conf, A-GPS Reset/forced update, power off, reboot, using GPS Status and GPS Test). Getting a stable GPS lock is very funny.
As other, my GPS lock is not locking properly. When I get it, I lost it on the road without any reason...

I was wondering what stock ROM but that's fine.
Please check the thread attached and make sure you do a backup.
If not I'm wondering if you have a hardware issue.
Thanks but this fix was not helping me...
So, I decided to disassembly the G2.
I solved my GPS problem by adding some alumium on the GPS antenna. Opening the G2 back cover is very easy (see video on youtube).
Before I was getting a GPS Lock on 0 sat (20 in view).
Now, I'm getting a GPS Lock on ~8 sat !!!
My girl friend was able to use her G2 while driving ~40km without any lost of GPS. It was impossible before "my fix".
Does the baseband and radio/modem and that stuff affect the GPS?
I'm also having difficulty get a lock on
Curious fix - squeeze the top right corner of the phone and see if you get a lock on!

[Q] GPS doesnt work, just blinking ! Any permanent fix ?

Hi, I have i9505 with stock 4.4.2. After a long time I have to use GPS for an application. Although a clear sky, GPS is just blinking and have never locked so far. I tried same application in same are with stock i9300. it immedately locks and disconnect. So its about software and settings issue for sure
Im open for any advice. I hope I can find a solution asap.
Thanks

Try this (i always do this when i flash new rom)
Install a compas im using holo compass. Open it and do the 8 figure gestures. If you dont know what that is google/youtube it. Very very easy. Then go outside (backyard will do) and install *gps status* and open it. Turn on gps and select reset xtra data then after a few 2-3 seconds click get xtra data and within 1 minute or so u should get excellent gps. Whenever you think gps is crap jus open that app and everything will work fine. I have only used it once but still keep it just in case

What drives the GPS?

I'll be to the point. I have bought an O2 (UK) N9005 for me, to be used in India. I think it is completely unlocked as it is perfectly running each and every ROM meant for N9005. I am facing GPS lock issues with the device ever since. While on a particular ROM (Darklord S6) the GPS works fine (temporarily until restart) with the help of the app "GPS status and fix". This made me think if the GPS is region dependent, or it depends on the kernel (as referred by my fellow XDAian). I need some expert help to find a way to fix this problem for good!
Kernel should be the driver .
I would start with stock O2 firmware .
Nah, I don't think its kernel or ROM or anything but the GPS antenna and antenna only. So mainly and totally hardware. I have weird GPS issues too! On both S4 and Note 2 I had super fast GPS lock, indoor, outdoor doesn't matter. They both were Exynos versions though. But with my Note 3 (N9005) I can't get a lock inside. I have to go near windows or outside to get a lock, and then that lock stays inside too until I reboot the phone. However rebooting an Android phone will reset the A-GPS data, so its normal to not get a lock after a reboot.
You can just change the region to India, by using Faster Fix app, or just by using the Indian GPS.conf file, see if it helps in anything.

I have been an Indian Note 2 user too. Had no GPS problems with that. Will try your suggestions now and see what happens..
EDIT: Hey bro! While the FasterFix app didn't solve the problem (also, Its dev said not to use it on Android 4.2+), I just discovered an app on play store that worked miraculously! It has fixed the problem for good. My phone catches the satellites in just 1 second now! And that's when I am indoors. Haven't tested it outdoors yet! It's unbelievable to say at least!! I strongly recommend you to give it a try..

Dude this app is magic, the urban kids will use the word dope I suppose.
However I don't understand one thing, right now I am on ground floor of my premise and no windows are open or anything, so naturally there are no satellites in view, but still this app says GPS location is set! I mean what the heck! I will try to go to first floor and see what happens when the phone actually catches some satellites, but too lazy to move now :laugh:
You could go HERE ^ DL the GPS.conf file for your country (or closest if not listed) - it helps. Don't forget to change the permissions...

[BEER REWARD :)] GPS Not working on my Note 3 (tried EVERYTHING)

Hi all, I tried everything I found on the Internet.
I thought it was a cable problem, a contact problem.
I opened and closed my Note 3 several times with no luck.
This is what happens: my GPS cannot fix any satellite.
I made a video to show what happens.
Note that it was trying to fix since about 30 minutes.
Whoever is able to help me solving this problem has a free beer as a reward

This has been happening to me for over a year and to people since the note 3 came out. FIrst we tried lifting the antennae prongs, then we rebuilt NV GPS through the service menu... Still nothing.
Now I am trying to install custom roms...
I installed Darklord's note 7 custom rom on my note 3 and the gps is working... but it has happened before that it works for a few days or a week and then dies again.

I found a thread on Reddit that fixed my GPS once, then a thread here that fixed it better the 2nd time. It has to do with pulling the back off and bending the tabs that connect to the GPS antenna on the rear. These threads tell and show all. Follow these and GPS issues should be resolved.

I also try reflash the ROM and tried another custom ROM Phronesis ROM, no luck. I haven't try flash CM yet. Some mention because of Android version upgrade like lollipop to marshmallow will cause this issues. Currently I unsure is software or hardware cause it. Also, it might cause by motherboard.

Try installing Purify custom rom. It solved all my issues at least for the past week. I think the gps is controlled by the kernel not the modem. I'm using purify rom with purify 1.1 kernel.

Sent from my SM-N920C using XDA-Developers mobile app
note3 for indoor with apgs. In the beginning, I think it's GPS issue leading me can't play Pokemon. But indoor, we can only have agps, so I try to look at the setting and see if this works for you
1. Use faster GPS to change the NTP server by select continent and region you are in.
2. In faster GPS, go to advance to change setting. Change value of intermediate_post to 0. This one is important and I find it helps to lock my location by agps in a second. otherwise, location is found with 4km error
3. Use GPS status app to reset and download the agps data. This make the error distance even shorter
4. Of course,restart and enjoy
I do this and I can lock my location even indoor with a second. Hope it works for you. I try this out by myself and hope this helps you
Cheers

2. In faster GPS, go to advance to change setting. Change value of intermediate_post to 0. This one is important and I find it helps to lock my location by agps in a second. otherwise, location is found with 4km error
3. Use GPS status app to reset and download the agps data. This make the error distance even shorter
4. Of course,restart and enjoy
I do this and I can lock my location even indoor with a second. Hope it works for you. I try this out by myself and hope this helps you
Cheers

It's not an AGPS kind of Issue.

Try installing Purify custom rom. It solved all my issues at least for the past week. I think the gps is controlled by the kernel not the modem. I'm using purify rom with purify 1.1 kernel. You can find the rom + kernel and instructions on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ify-cm-13-hlte-n9005-unofficial-cm13-t3337234

Nope. Doesn't work. All broken as well. I guess is hardware related.

When on data, have wifi activated even if you are not on a network. It helps.
